Worth getting out of bed for
You’re at the northernmost tip of the Great Barrier Reef, so there are a plethora of water-based diversions on offer – wetsuits and snorkelling gear, catamarans, glass-bottom paddle skis and motorised dinghies are all provided free. You can also book half- or full-day dive trips on the resort’s boat around dozens of top scuba sites, including the famed Cod Hole, where you can hand-feed colossal potato cod. Back on land, while away an afternoon on the tennis court or arrange a private beach picnic.
Local restaurants
Osprey's is the only dining option on the island – there's nothing by way of civilisation except the resort and the research station. Not that that's a bad thing, given that all meals are included and the five-course tasting menu will fulfil all fine-dining requirements.
